As I'm learning how to use Twiki, I'm picking up some simple tricks; some of these might be useful to others, and I'd like to hear what others learn.

I suggest that we try using this for simple one liners or not much more, not to create a full-blown tutorial (there are already a couple of those). If this gets overgrown someone can come through an give it some organization.
